A monochromatic oil painting on stretched canvas by the British artist John J. Kerr, depicting St. Mary’s Lighthouse on St. Mary’s Island, Whitley Bay. The work is executed in a tonal sepia and white palette, featuring energetic and textured brushwork throughout. The dramatic, cloud-filled sky is rendered with visible brushstrokes where rays of light pierce through, while the choppy sea is detailed with white impasto crests. The artist signature JOHN J. KERR is incised into the paint at the lower right corner. The verso of the support features a detailed handwritten inscription in blue ink on the cardboard backing, which reads TITLE. ST. MARY’S ISLAND WHITLEY BAY followed by OIL PAINTING BY JOHN J. KERR 4, AVENUE TERR, SEATON DELAVAL, WHITLEY BAY. The painting is presented in a gilt-finished frame with a narrow black inner slip.
